It is nearly impossible to play solo. I failed my first mission on the "Easiest" difficulty because I couldn't figure out how to deal with the bugs that swarm the extraction point.
I "won" my second mission by running in circles avoiding the bugs, since I couldn't kill them fast enough or find and close the holes.
This reminds me why I don't play shooters. Oh well.
I also played a bit of #Destiny as an adult; which kind of broke ground on the whole "Main Story + Post-Story Events + Seasons with story + cosmetics + equipment" as a revenue / play model.
And while nostalgic, I don't play games to be "Challenged" (life is hard enoug!)
Inktober, jour 1, Dream. C'était un rêve depuis le début, Mario ? #Inktober2023#inktober
Ça fait un moment que j'ai pas dessiné, donc bon, la technique est plus trop là. La prochaine fois, je colore, et APRÈS je trace. Nouveau carnet, en plus, donc je connais pas trop son facteur d'absorption.
Inktober, jour 5 : Map. Qu'est-ce que j'ai pu passer du temps sur cette Map d'Unreal Tournament. Facing Worlds semble basique, mais c'est une des meilleures cartes de CTF, et la musique Foregone Destruction y est probablement aussi pour quelque chose... #Inktober2023#inktober#unrealtournament
Here's a recent music release I've been enjoying: Unreal Tournament Redux, a 2-hour long full album of remixes of the Unreal Tournament 1999 soundtrack. It's free to download, too!
I was a huge fan of the original UT, and its soundtrack, which was a fast-paced techno/acid sort of thing, perfect for running around and blasting your friends into bloody pieces. Ahhhh, I miss the days of modding that game.
Absolutely: 1000%. But it's a shame game AI seems to have peaked around the Millennium and hasn't improved since.
Playing Unreal Tournament ('99) and trying-and-failing to beat Xan Kreigor on the highest skill levels still feels like peak Computer-Braining. And he/It was only unbeatable because it cheated like a MF, given the ability to see the player through walls and rock-solid aim-assist.
Poor/Laughable AI has been a Gamer's lament ever since Multiplayer gaming took off and companies realised it was cheaper to plug in a human mind than try and recreate one. AI is haaaaarrrd.
